Cosset You Forever

Chapter 310 Wouldn't You Go Mad

Ever since that day, Lola's cafe was in a steady decline.

Fortunately, she bought the property with full cash already so she did not need to pay rent to anyone. She only needed to worry about paying salaries to the staff on time.

At that moment, she was doing okay. She still had some savings from her work at SL Group. She also had money from him... when he paid her for the medical expenses.

Lola was able to use the money to pay the salaries of her crew.

Her business had been at a loss for two consecutive months. One day, Lola wearily came to the store. All the worries and anxieties have exhausted her.

She looked around and noticed that the first floor had four occupied tables, the best business within the last two months.

She would also notice a young man named Minmin Quan working tirelessly in the cafe. His diligence caught her attention.

She always saw him running around fetching stuff for the customers. When the cafe was not busy, he would do cleaning or simply just browse through the books on the shelves.

Lola observed him for days and found him very hardworking. He looked sincere and polite. Many customers even praised him for his outstanding service.

There was another female staff working in the cafe. She was a really young-looking girl. Lola specifically checked her ID and confirmed that she was already 21.

The girl was also hardworking. She even paid more attention to details than Minmin.

Lola paid 3000 to her staff as basic salary. With bonuses and incentives, they could earn more than 4000. Lola also provided meals and accommodation for her staff. The whole payment package was indeed very decent and reasonable.

Her staff were loyal to her despite the decline of the business. It was because their boss has taken care of them well.

Lola thought to herself that she should pay them another 1000 as extra bonus this month.

1000 might not be much to her as she lived a lavish life. Her single dress would easily cost more than 1000.

But for her staff, the sum equaled half a month of their work and maybe even one month's living cost.

Lola sat on the swing as she browsed through her Weibo updates. One picture posted by Cherry caught her attention. It was a lovely picture of a heart and a ring.

She did not tell who the ring was from. But underneath her post, a lot of people had sent their congratulations to her and Harry.

The ring was from a diamond brand belonging to the SL Group.

Lola had no doubt that Harry bought it for Cherry.

The ring reminded Lola of her own, the one Harry gave to her when he proposed. Even though they weren't together anymore, she had kept the ring in the bottom drawer of her room.

Just then, someone called out to her and pulled her back to reality. "Hey sis, I am here!" Joseph came in with a warm and excited greeting.

Lola was slightly surprised as she gazed at Joseph and Lillian!

"Hey! You're so lost in your thoughts again. What were you thinking about?" Lillian's baby bump was getting bigger. She peeped at Lola's computer and noticed the picture with the diamond ring in it. Whose ring was that?

Half a minute later, Lola finally pulled herself out of her wild thoughts. She turned off the laptop and stood up from the swing.

She helped Lillian sit comfortably in the chair next to her and just said, "You need to be careful when you are carrying a child. Avoid running around. It might harm the child." As Wendy was due to labor in the next two days, the family had sent her to the maternity ward already. Lola will go to the hospital to keep her accompanied that evening.

Joseph was a little bit upset when he saw Lola only talk to his wife. He deliberately put on a stiff face and interrupted them. "I am full of superstar power now. How come you did not notice me at all?"

Lola cast a glance at her brother. Behind him, some of the cafe staff were discussing and giggling at him. He was always so popular with the girls.

"You are of no good. Your wife is pregnant but you are seldom home to accompany her. Take a leave from work already, Joseph."

Lillian smiled gracefully at her words. Joseph instantly defended himself. "I am busy earning money. For the sake of the child, I am trying to make more money. We have to buy diapers and stuff, right?" He hugged Lillian on her shoulder to further show his love. "Don't listen to my sister. I love you very much."

...... The two women exchanged strange looks and felt amused by his words. Joseph had a honey tongue as he could easily say sweet words without even trying so hard!

"Just go away already. My young crew of girls have been fancying you so much. Why don't you go there and give them your autographs. Or even take pictures with them?" Lola chased Joseph away,

then she turned around and poured Lillian a glass of water.

Joseph did what Lola suggested. Surprisingly, the business boomed for a while because a word has spread that he was there.

In the hospital

Joseph went to park the car. Lola held Lillian's arm as they walked into the lift.

In the VIP ward

Wendy was slightly annoyed as she did not understand why she was in the hospital already.

However, Jordan ignored all her complaints.

She threw a pillow at him out of anger. Jordan finally opened his mouth to calm her down: "Honey, you shouldn't be mad. I'm just concerned for you."

Wendy stared at him with widened eyes. "I am due in the next four days. But you brought me here already and forbid me from doing anything. If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you go mad?"

Jordan laughed as he caressed her hair. "Don't worry. It will be quick. Those four days will pass by so fast and soon, it will be over."

Four days? Wendy was not stupid! "Then four days later, after I give birth, you will tell me to be bed- ridden for another month to recover. It will be even more boring!" She knew what was coming! She had read a lot on the maternity books. But she dreaded the fact that she needed to rest for a long time.

He quickly kissed her soft lips and answered, "I will always be there and accompany you. You won't feel bored at all." For her, he would do anything. He had specifically asked for half a month of leave. It was the first time that he will be out from work for a long period of time.

Wendy cast a glance on his face and thought for some time. Eventually. she calmed down.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open. Lola and Lillian walked in with warm greetings and lovely smiles. Wendy instantly cheered up.

"Lola, Lillian! You guys are here!" How wonderful! She was not bored anymore! Finally!

Lola walked up to her bed with a big grin. "Brother, you really shouldn't have brought Wendy here so early. She is due only in four days' time. Now you have bored her to tears."

Jordan smiled and said nothing. He did this for Wendy as he was very cautious. To be honest, when Lola gave birth to Nicole, it was such an unpleasant scene that he was nervous that it might also happen to his wife.

Back then, Lola was three days earlier than the due date. It was midnight when she doubled up in pain. She was quickly sent to the hospital. There, she was informed by the doctors that natural birth was not ideal for her due to her situation.

She had to go for the C-section. It ended up in messy bleeding. Two hours after Nicole was born, the doctors were still trying to revive Lola in the emergency room.

The family were freaked out. They prayed for her, hoping she would survive the operation. Eventually, Lola was rescued by the doctors and safely sent to the ward so she could rest. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lola. Lillian come here and sit with me. Let me tell you how unfair he has been to me!" They laughed as they sat down next to her. The atmosphere in the room was really warm and full of glee.

Jordan decided to give them some space and walked outside for a smoke.

"Brother, Wendy will soon be in labor. How come you haven't quit smoking yet? It will be harmful for your child." On his way out, he heard Lola's voice.

Jordan nodded: "I try to! Don't judge me!" He was actually cutting down on his cigarettes. But he was doing it slowly and gradually.

Gazing at his back, Lola unconsciously thought of another man who smoked even more than her older brother. Thomas Herren, on the other hand, did not smoke much at all. He did not have any bad habits.

Jordan bumped into Joseph as he was stepping out of the ward. He said to him, "Let's go. Leave the room to the chatting women."

Joseph peeped inside through the glass panel and agreed to walk away with his brother.

The three women had a really close relationship with one another and were very good friends. Whenever they got a chance, they would gather up and talk for like forever.

Nothing would stop them from chatting. So the brothers decided to leave them so they could go to somewhere quiet and peaceful.

Inside the ward, the three women were having a heated discussion about child, birth and other related topics. It was all feminine and fun.
